Using a universal_string class

Personally I have no use for them. I work with C++/Vb/java and i find that their String functions are convenient aside from C++ std::string and some of java's string classes/functions I have created my own library of String Manipulating functions that are created in ASM so i dont have to worry about speed, bugs, or quirks.

I think its a nice idea but with all the languages out there and their ability to flub up stuff I don't really have any preference towards a "universal string class". I also think that the makers of this class would attempt to do what W3C does to everybody else and that would be to place regulations and restrictions on what t he class does, how it does it and when it does it.
